ACKNOWLEDGMENT 



Many persons were responsible for gathering, 

 classifying, and tabulating the data used in this 

 report. Acknowledgment is first due all members 

 of the Gulf shrimp industry without whose full 

 cooperation these data could not have been ob- 

 tained. Special recognition is accorded Charles H. 

 Lyles, Jr., who pioneered and, until recently, su- 

 pervised the present statistical survey, and his 

 associates throughout the Branch of Statistics who 

 routinely collect and process for publication the 

 many kinds of information the survey includes.
